About this audiobook
THE ICONIC INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH OVER 25 MILLION COPIES SOLD • The inspiration for the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical! A heroic coming-of-age novel revolving around friendship, belonging, and brotherhood that has touched the hearts of readers for generations.
“The Outsiders transformed young-adult fiction.”—The New York Times
“This remarkable novel gives a moving, credible view of the outsiders from the inside. . . . A book with a powerful message.”—The Horn Book
“Stay gold, Ponyboy.”
No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends—true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on “greasers” like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect—until the night someone takes things too far.
The Outsiders is a dramatic and enduring work of young adult fiction that laid the groundwork for the genre. S. E. Hinton’s classic novel of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was first published.

there is a lot of things i would change about this book (and audiobook) but the base meaning and story that this book/author is trying to tell is a work of art. Given some changes, this could easily be the best book i have ever read.

For 14 dollars couldn't you guys add sound effects, music, and female voices too and different voices? is boring to listen too.

Honestly one of my favorite books. Grew up with similar experience. But this book got myself interested in writing stories. First red this in 8th grade. And now as a 33 year old, I still love this book. Thank you.
